Curious what notable personalities in the scene think was great this year? So is TGEFM! So we reached out to some of our favorite luminaries ranging from musicians, label personnel, and more for their “Best of 2024” lists. Now, listen: TGEFM is not a taskmistress. Contributors can write these out however they want. So if it doesn’t actually look or read like a list… and sometimes it really is just a list with no other observations! Who cares?
Ya know, what makes a Kill Lincoln show so damned good? It’s because the band is so damned great and know how to throw a party. Hypeman Drew Skibitsky is a huge part to kicking off that party… but TGEFM wanted to know what albums from 2024, set the playlist to Drew’s parties… and he was kind enough to oblige!
Scenario-specific 2024 best albums for:
· Board game night: Eat Defeat – My Money is On Me
· Driving solo: Half Past Two – Talk is Killing Me
· Road trip with friends: Girly Girl Productions – Demure
· Railway travel: Charli XCX – Brat (all the Brat releases)
· Airplane rides: Call Me Malcolm – Echoes & Ghosts
· Working out: Hey Smith – Rest in Punk: US Version
· Pedestrian adventures: Kill Lincoln – No Normal
Bad Dad (occasionally called Ed) has been on the periphery of the punk and punk-adjacent scene for over twenty years. While many contributors to this site have musical experience and talent, Ed’s musical claim to fame comes from his time in arguably the most punk rock Blockbuster Video district in NJ where he worked alongside members of Blanks 77, Best Hit TV and Brian Fallon. He is more than just an awful father to his 2 daughters, he is also a dreadful husband, a subpar writer, a terrible dresser and has a severe deficiency in all things talent… but hey, at least he’s self-aware, amirite?
